Understanding the factors associated with sexual behaviour is critical in slowing the spread of HIV in the Philippines, where sexual transmission accounts for most HIV infections, with the majority from heterosexual activity. Further, unprotected sex is common, as is sex with prostitutes. These factors increase the risks associated with extramarital sex. From an analysis of a nationally representative sample of women, we found that a number of factors were related to women's reports of their husbands' sexual activity outside their current relationship: women report that partners who are more educated, have been in the current relationship longer, and who had sex before marriage are more likely to be engaging in sex outside the marriage. Further, men who are older, who are farmers, who live at home, and who have more educated wives, were believed to be less likely to be having extramarital sex.
了解与性行为相关的因素对于减缓菲律宾艾滋病毒的传播至关重要，在菲律宾，性传播占大多数艾滋病毒感染，其中大多数来自异性性行为。此外，无保护性行为很常见，与妓女发生性行为的情况也很常见。这些因素增加了婚外性行为的相关风险。通过对全国具有代表性的女性样本进行分析，我们发现许多因素与女性报告其丈夫在当前关系之外的性活动有关：女性报告称，受教育程度较高、处于当前关系时间较长且婚前有性行为的伴侣更有可能在婚姻之外发生性行为。此外，年龄较大、是农民、住在家中且妻子受教育程度较高的男性被认为婚外性行为的可能性较小。
